Default Engine Swap ?

Just wondering how much would an auto/performance shop charge to do an engine sway? I see all these cheap crate engines(308's pushing 400hp+ for $3k shipped)on ebay and my dad and I r thinking of getting a project car for next yr and if it has a lot of miles on the engine, doing a swap. probably getting a 5.0 or older mustang. Just want to know some estimates and see what it will run. And also if u can tell me how much hp each of the transmission could take(5spd stick) stock and is there a way to make them stronger w/o taking them out or putting in a new one?
Thanks In Advance

Figure $1,000 to swap engine to be safe.

You can do it yourself in a driveway in a weekend.
Really not hard with a good set of hand tools and an engine lift.

Before you spend money an ebay hunk-a-junk
check out www.fordstrokers.com he can build you up a custom 347ci - 475-500hp engine for under $4k
